Hey,

I'm about to replace my SSD with a larger capacity. I have a samsung evo and i'm upgrading to a larger evo, and i've noticed the issue that the new 6.9 will fix, It writes a lot more than it should be doing.

Do I wait until the 6.9 release, risk the beta 30 of 6.9 or is there a manual way of setting the partition format to 1mb beforehand that 6.9 does to fix the issue?

 

New partition alignment is just one of the changes in -beta30 to help with the write amplification issue, not the only one, and not the one that makes the most difference, using space_cache=v2 with btrfs is what makes the most different, and you can do that now, or go with the beta, it's very stable for most.
